Relative measurements
The height rod can be set to zero at any position. This function allows extremities to be
measured.

ZERO button in order to set
the height rod to zero at its current po-
sition.
ZERO SET is highlighted in the display.
All lengths are now measured starting
from this zero set point. Any measure-
ment below this zero point will cause re-
sults to be displayed with a minus sign.
– Pres the
ZERO button again if you
want to start measuring from absolute
zero again.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
The Body Mass Index compares body size with body weight while also allowing more pre-
cise information to be determined for ideal body weight according to Broca. A tolerance
range is given which is considered ideal for health.
By using the integrated measurement station seca 764 you can have the Body Mass In-
dex calculated directly from the size measured and the measured weight. Please follow
these steps.
– Press the Start key with no load on the
scale.
se(A , 8.8.8.8.8. and 0.0 appear consec-
utively in the display. The scale is then
automatically set to zero and ready to
use.
– Now measure height as described.
After you have determined that the pa-
tient is standing up straight and the
head slide is correctly positioned, then
please push the DATA VALID button.
This marks the height measurement as
a valid value for the Body Mass Index
calculation.
– Push the head slide back up.
– Now read the weight value in the
weight display.
– Press the FUNC key. The measured
height which is marked as valid now
appears in the display. Push the kg/
lbs/sts buttons (raise the value) or
HOLD/TARE (lower the value) if you
want to correct the height, for example
to compensate for shoe heel height.
